Bryon Kortright - c. 1901 - 11/2/1933 - in the Ellenville RDC record # 371 this Bryon was listed as age 32, and worked as a guard at the institue (jail) - buried in grave D3-L2 6.

Moses Kortright 2/25/1801 - 10/27/1844 - he is # 397 in the "Courtright (Kortright) Family Descendants of Bastian Van Kortryk" - some confusion over actual DOB from various records - Moses is buried in grave A4-I 13. Myra Bruyn Kortright - 1855 - 1902 - buried in grave D3-L1 14. Rachel Kortright - d. 1973 - also one of the latest burials - Rachel is buried in grave D3-K 15. Catherina Kortright VerNooy - 11/8/1789 - 3/6/1848 - she is # 202 in the "Courtright" book" - daughter of Captain Benjamin Kortright and Arriantje Oosterhoudt. There are some conflicts of information on her birth / bapt. dates. According to the "Courtright" book she was bapt. 10/16/1783 -Three Hundred Year of the VerNooy Family in America" gives DOB as 11/8/1780 - her headstone is very deteriorated but the birthdate on the headstone looks like the year is 1789. Catherina married Jacob VerNooy who is # 2F4g1 in the VerNooy book. (Jacob VerNooy & Catherine Kortright are my 4th great-grandparents) 16. Cornelius Benjamin Kortright VerNooy - 8/13/1820 - 1/8/1882 - he a son of Jacob & Catherina and is my 3rd geat-grandfather - he is VerNooy # 2F4g1f 17. Maria Kortright VerNooy - 5-4-1811 - 5-5-1902 - she was married to Cornelius Abraham VerNooy There are probably other Kortrights by birth & marriage who are also buried there, most of the headstones are in very bad shape - you can hardly read them - many stones are sunk into the ground, missing, etc. I have been cross referencing the cemetery records with church records, obits which state place of burial, and information I learn from local history books. I have 3 Kortright obits for people not buried in the Wawarsing Cemetery if you are interested: 1. Mary Margaret Hill Kortright - b. 3/26/1838 - d. 3/13/1924 she was daughter of DuBois Hill & Catherine Furman, she was the 2nd wife of Jesse M. Kortright 2. Jesse M. Kortright - b. 12/3/1829 - d. 4/28/1884 - the obit does not give names of his parents, but it says he married 1st Mary A. Smith 1/24/1850 she died in 1861 - then Jesse married 2nd wife Mary M. Hill 5/14/1863. 3. Maria Jane North Kortright - d. age 78 on Aug 2, 1903 she was the widow of Cornelius Kortright. Cornelius d. 1867 Hope the information helps you in some way. Good luck with your research!. Nancy Coleman-Bello
